Thats what i was thinking haha. not sure what the other little items would be though.

thanks the info guys. im pretty happy with it.

Picked this one up recently, and its my second sword (first waki) comes with extra fittings, and papers. Let me know what you think, and any info you cant tell me would be greatly appreciated as im new the sword collecting game. if i could also get some help on the smith id appreciate that too, rather than making multiple threads in different forums. Also here's a little video - https://streamable.com/02enid

Thanks Ray. Had my doubts on the 2nd, but no biggie. got it on ebay, so can just send it back for a refund.

Picked these 2 swords up recently, and would like to know more info/opinions on them, and if someone can translate the tangs, and tags. Sword 1 came w/ capture tags, and would like to know if anything is legible enough to translate. Sword 2 is considerably shorter than the sheath, not sure if its been shortened at some point in its life. If youd like any more pics, let me know. thanks for any help. sword 1 a small video https://streamable.com/tv70qn sword 2
